NO SPINNING MARATHON

I decided and made up my mind not to take part in this year's spinning marathon.......

TO SPIN OR NOT TO SPIN?

FZ is going to hold another 3 hours spinning marathon next week.... So now, to spin or not to spin?

ALHAMDULILLAH

Yes.... I am fully recovered. It was only yesterday that I was sick to the max..... Today I went to FZ and joined the one hour cycling class. After the class I used the treadmill and managed to run 6K non-stop.... It was a comfortable run... After the run I did some weights focusing only on the legs. Went home after that and washed 2 of the three cars.... one more car to go.... too tired... may be tomorrow..................

EXERCISE WHILE FASTING

I never sweat because of exercising during the fasting month until today. I do sweat during the fasting month but all because of house chores. So today, two plus hours before "sungkai" I went to the gym for Miko's one hour cycling class at 4.30pm. I must admit that I did feel dizzy during the first few minutes but after that it was ok. Throughout the whole one hour, I must say that the driest part of my body was my throat. "It" was screaming for water. But all in all the session was ok. My cycling friends were asking if today session was the first and the last...... NOPE... I am coming back people... So my plan now is to cycle every Fridays, Sundays, Mondays and Wednesdays during this fasting month....

THE SPINNING MARATHON 110708

Did not win the challenge but managed to complete it in 3 hours flat..... Will I do it again next year? Well just like women giving birth.... they always say "that's it.... no more"..... That's what I said last night after completing it.... but then I think I will............

BTW many congratulations to Carrine and Ai Chun for winning the challenge...... You guys really are the deserving winners..... you guys rock!!!

NIKE SPARQ TRAINING

Just bought myself a proper cross training shoes.... All these while I have been using running shoes during my spinning classes.... quite uncomfortable at times.... This is my first pair of Nike after being a loyal fan to Addidas for as long as I can remember.... Can't wait for tomorrow's spinning classes (8.00am, 5.30pm and 6.30pm classes.... )

SPINNING MARATHON FINAL

The spinning marathon final will be held on the 11th of July 2008 at 6pm. 25 fitness zone members are qualified to spin for a duration of 3 hours flat.... What's my preparation? Since last week I have been spinning for one to three hours everyday... I am not expecting anything but to finish the marathon within the time limit without stopping....

THE SPINNING MARATHON FINAL

Just came back from FZ. I did a 5K run in 34 minutes 15 seconds followed by a 30 minutes individual spinning. Talking about spinning, the final of the spinning marathon will be held sometime June. 12 gym members out of 50, qualified to the final round and I am one of them. Not sure if I can make it during the final. Just hope it will not clash with my June O and A level examination invigilation.

I MADE IT !!!

Went to FZ for the cycling (spinning) marathon. Only there I discovered that it was only a qualifying round. There were 50 participants .... divided into two groups. I was in the first group. Each group has to finish the session in 90 minutes. Half way through I felt like wanting to quit but I saw from the distance my wife and my son coming to give me some moral support. At the end of the session I was so relieved .... Thank you dears for being there. If it weren't for you two I would have quit. 25 of us will be selected for another round.... that's what they said.... not sure about the final round.... they will announce the selected participants tomorrow... Not that I am right now anticipating for a positive outcome but this thing actually motivates me to do more exercise!!!..... Let's see tomorrow.....

RUN # 160

Went to FZ this morning. I did an hour of cycling followed by a 5K run. The cycling class is getting intense each day and Sherwin (the instructor) has shown a lot of improvement. I used to avoid his classes but now he is just as good as HEP. My running is getting better. Now it is down to 33 minutes 25 seconds. Hope to break the 30 minutes barrier in one month time........ so far after two weeks working out, I shed one Kg of the 5Kg I gained in Penang...

CYCLING MARATHON AT FZ

After the one hour Sherwin's spinning class a few hours ago, I signed up for the cycling marathon which will be held on the 12th of May. What am I thinking? Am I fit enough to do it?.... 3 solid hours? Will see if I am still alive after the marathon...

RUN # 157

Went to FZ for an hour of HEP's groove spinning class. It was as usual a very tough class but since I still have some energy for a run, I did a 3K run after that.

RUN # 154

Today's workouts: One hour spinning and a 3K run.

RUN # 153

Today's workout: One hour spinning and a 5K run.

WHAT MAKES SPINNING CLASS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER GROUP EXERCISE CLASSES?

Top-notch instructors, invigorating music and visualization come together to make Spinning class both fun and effective. If you've ever left a group exercise class feeling frustrated, you'll appreciate that there are no complicated moves to learn with the Spinning program. Regardless of how fit, flexible or coordinated you are, you'll get a great workout. Simply hop on your bike, set the resistance to the level that's right for you, and let your instructor guide you through an incredible ride.
